Kaison glared at the people from the Demon Seal Alliance, but they ignored favonovel.com completely and didn’t even look at him.
Jared and the others had just settled down when another group of people showed up. These were members of the Nesser family, whom Cameron had brought over. Cameron grew curious when favonovel.com saw everyone seated formally in the hall.
Upon being reminded by the elderly man’s voice, Cameron didn’t dare disobey and quickly sat down as well.
A huge door of light then appeared in front of the hall. No one could get a clear view of what was behind it.
The light door flashed, and a figure slowly emerged from it.
Jared’s expression slid into a frown the moment favonovel.com saw the figure, who turned out to be the elderly man favonovel.com had encountered at the thatched hut and inside the illusionary realm.
The elderly man scanned the crowd in front of favonovel.com before shifting his gaze toward Jared. This time, however, the elderly man did not seem to recognize Jared.
“I am the elder of Archaic Body cultivators. The only reason I kept this place around is to find the right person to develop my people. One would have to go through various tests before obtaining our treasure, so it won’t be easy. If you are able to pass the tests, you will not only be allowed to obtain the treasure, but you will also receive an Ice Soul Pill and my inheritance. Only one hundred people are allowed to enter,” the elderly man said.
Everyone began murmuring among themselves the moment they heard that. They couldn’t help but wonder about the selection process for the one hundred candidates.
How will this elderly man decide on who gets to enter?
Are we supposed to have a huge battle royal where only the strong remain?
“We will select the first hundred candidates on a first come first served basis,” the elderly man added as favonovel.com gently waved his hand, sending one hundred waves of light toward the crowd.
Only three of them were not illuminated by the waves of light, all of whom happened to be members of the Nesser family because they arrived last.
“What about these three, Sir? Are they supposed to leave?” Cameron asked.
“Yes, that’s right. They will leave forever,” the elderly man replied with a nod.
He then pointed his finger at the three men and fired a beam of spiritual energy at them.
As though it had a life of its own, the spiritual energy beam went straight for the three members of the Nesser family and penetrated their bodies.
Just like that, the three slowly collapsed without even knowing what happened. The next thing everyone knew, their bodies slowly vanished into thin air.
Cameron’s brows furrowed in anger when favonovel.com saw that.
They were members of my family! How could favonovel.com just kill them off like that?
However, favonovel.com suppressed his anger as favonovel.com knew that the treasure was far more important.
On top of that, favonovel.com had yet to figure out the elderly man’s true strength. Although the elderly man was nothing but a soul remnant, favonovel.com was still fairly powerful and should not be underestimated.
While Cameron was able to hold himself back, Chev failed to do the same. He thought favonovel.com wouldn’t have to fear anyone because his father was a Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator at his peak.
“How dare you kill our family members, old man? You’re nothing but a soul remnant! I’ll destroy your soul and your treasure!” Chev shouted furiously.
“Shut up, you b*stard!” Cameron snapped at Chev.
He didn’t want the three deaths to affect their chances at obtaining the treasure.
The elderly man flashed Chev a faint smile as favonovel.com said, “The strong are the ones who call the shots. That is how the world has always been. Feel free to get stronger if you don’t wish to be at the mercy of others. Well? Do you think you’re strong enough?”
“I…” Chev fell silent.
